Hi,

We have developed all jobs in Datastage 7.5.1(server edition) in windows server. Is it possible to migrate the jobs to Datastage 8.1 (parallel edition) in LINUX server.

Since it is a different version, will there be any compatability issue. If it is there how do we take care of compatability issue.

Can anybody help on this?

Thanks..

Both topics - migrating from 7.x to 8.x and migrating from Windows to UNIX (or vice versa) - have been discussed here quite a bit, something a search would turn up. Also note they'll still be Server jobs, the way to migrate a Server job to a Parallel job is using wetware - i.e. a person needs to rewrite the job. The way your question was phrased, it seemed like you might think that would happen automagically.

Don't be distracted by "parallel edition" - server jobs will remain server jobs.

Have a look at the DataStage 8 Server Edition SuperFAQ for some of the issues in this upgrade.
